Who is a survivor?
A person is a survivor from the day they are diagnosed. Their families are also considered survivors.
Why have a survivor program?
The impact of a brain tumor diagnosis does not stop when treatment stops. Although survivors have always known this, it took the professional community much longer to move beyond treatment and focus on the lasting impact. They continue to research the medical, cognitive and social impact of the diagnosis and treatment. Our survivor program wants to ensure that this information is available to survivors and the people they encounter on a day-to-day basis. We also want to provide support and advocacy in each step of the survivorship process. The most important part of the survivor program is to help you in celebrating the victory you have achieved.
